Connecting and Charging the Battery Pack

CONNECTING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The ET-1118 comes with a recharge- able nickel-cadmium battery pack in the handset but not connected. Before using your phone, you must connect the bat- tery pack and then charge it for about 24 hours.

1.Press down and slide off the battery pack compartment cover as shown.

2.Lift the battery pack out of the com- partment.

3.Plug the battery pack’s connector into the socket in the compartment (the connector fits only one way), then replace the battery pack.

4. Replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, place the handset on the base either faceup or facedown. The CHARGE indicator on the base lights and Total:00 appears on the handset display.

Recharge the battery pack when Low Battery flashes on the display.

Important: Be sure the battery pack is properly connected before you try to charge it. The CHARGE indicator lights when the handset is on the base, even if the battery pack is not connected.

Notes:

•When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work and you might hear an error tone when you press TALK. If this happens, return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds. This resets the security access-protection code.

•If the base loses power for 60 min- utes while the handset is away from it or the handset’s battery pack is completely discharged, the security access-protection code might be lost. To reset the code, return the handset to the base for about 5 sec- onds.

•Using a pencil eraser, clean the charging contacts on the handset and the base about once a month.
